Fifteen boys whose ages ranged from 12 to 15 years formed a Jesse James Club at Strcuidsburg, Pa., recently and created some excitement by starting out for the purpose of robbing and shooting people. It was fortunate that each of the boys had a vigorous father who, didn't believe in the Jesse James business, but had a good old-fashioneJ faith In the efficacy of a hickory switch.

The quiet, honest citizen who lives well within his Income, having what he needs in the way of comfortable living, adequate feeding, tasteful dressing, with some relaxations and pleasures, all In such proportion as his means jus tify, stands agape at his neighbor who earns no more but who makes a deal of show with what he has and what ue does and doubts his own ability to niau- age.
